Too lazy to do number crunching

Was just wondering if there is any compiled list somewhere on the net with probabilities, dice rolls and such or do i have to make my own?

I'm currently heavily loaded with university work and the excessive amount of projects of my own, but in the horizon I see a website of mine that provides the tools to calculate probabilities easily.

The first step to that direction, the kick-off probability calculator, has already reached its first incarnation - as soon as I'll get some time to concentrate on that, I'll finish it off.

However, I naturally recommend learning to calculate the basic die roll probabilities, or to memorise them by heart. Ask if you want any advice on that, I'd guess that no such sheet that you're asking for exists.

It's not that difficult a calculation and definitely worth doing, so have a go yourself. If you get really stuck, then ask, but the effort should enlighten you when playing.

Cheers,
Martyn

You can have a look at this page on injuries or this one on GFIs

I have done a breakdown of two die blocks at advantage and disadvantage, including all the various combinations of attacker with block and defender with block and dodge.

It's not really suitable to be posted here without being cleaned up a bit, but I would be happy to share it with anyone who would like a look. If you PM me with your email address, I will send you the excel file.

Note to self: should a disagreement concerning mathematics arise at talkBB, do not disagree with martyng, I repeat, do not...

I'm a student of mathematics myself, although due to my other major (comp.science) my graduation from maths will be postponed to somewhere in the end of the decade...

Im actually reading statistics myself atm hehe.
What i was looking for was a nice printable table. Maybe i should have said that in my first post.
I liked that list ianwilliams.
Thanks guys,
